Franchise Overview

GoliathTech offers a royalty-free franchise, where their franchisees benefit from quality products, services, and support. The implementation of their products extends to several fields of construction including home foundations, underpinning (foundation repair,) signage, decks, railway infrastructure, agricultural infrastructure, solar, to name some of its applications.
Made from galvanized steel, GoliathTech helical piles deeply penetrate the ground guaranteeing a solid foundation. Helical piles are faster to install than other foundations and have an extremely high bearing capacity. Their piles are drilled into the ground and will not destroy the land around your project as there is no excavation required. Made from fully galvanized 60Ksi steel, the tubes and helices are protected against physical deterioration. Furthermore, to prevent the cold weather heaving, they are filled with polyurethane.
